A very easy one chord song from the early 70s. C7, and the first string is never used. Fingerpicking is (5-2 together).3.4.6.2.3. The only thing that moves in the song is the melody which makes the song sound different. This song was used in the Tarantino movie, "Resivior Dogs" during the ending credits. The song was also used most recently in a Coke/Coca-cola commerical.

It was not intentional :-) I plan on redoing this someday and fixing the first verse.

Thanks for the comment! I may repost this at some point. I was not satisfied with the first lyric I did after I heard the original again, but I know it now. And resevior dogs is a great tarantino film! :-)

Brilliant. I was watching reservoir dogs just a few hours ago, and heard the original. I can tell you, it's a superior cover, and you should perform somewhere. I for one, would pay to see this for example, live.

Very nice - Got me singing now. The song was also a very funny scene in the movie Practical Magic starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman
